Camille Roskelley • Moda Lissa

Week 14 of Moda Blockheads 6 has arrived, and this one comes with a swirl of charm and motion—say hello to Carousel Waltz, by the effortlessly chic Camille Roskelley of Thimble Blossoms.

Elegant and playful all at once, Carousel Waltz feels like it could twirl right off your design wall. If you’ve been looking for a block with movement and grace, this one’s for you.

Blockheads 6- Camille Roskelley

Carousel Waltz – Spinning in Style

The Carousel Waltz block features half-square triangles and a central pinwheel, coming together in a design that has both rhythm and poise. The rotating shape (center pinwheel) creates a subtle spiral, like the graceful motion of a carousel in mid-waltz—steady, gentle, and beautifully balanced.

This block is one of those satisfying builds that starts simple and ends in something quite magical, super quick and so many options to play with color. Whether you lean into a two-tone palette or go scrappy for a bit of sparkle, Carousel Waltz offers a beautiful opportunity to showcase soft contrast and symmetry.

I loved working on this one—it fits so well with my vintage-faded theme and brings a little extra joy to the center of the block.
